BLM to premier new film Wednesday night

The Bureau of Land Management will host a premiere of its new film, “Arctic Visions and Voices,” on Wednesday at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center in Fairbanks. A reception will start at 7 p.m., with the film screening at 8. The 34-minute film celebrates the landscapes, natural history, and people of northern Alaska with a focus on the Dalton Highway area. The premiere is sponsored by the Alaska Public Lands Information Center and Alaska Geographic. It is free and open to the public...more

Were you aware the BLM was an award-winning film maker? Yes, they won a bronze medal "telly" award in the travel/tourism category for a version of this film.  

You thought they were broke didn't you.  Well apparently not.  We need more sequesters.  Otherwise, they will complete the mutation from the Bureau of Livestock & Mining to the Bureau of Liberals & Movies.

So a company from Colorado is contracted to make a film about Alaska. I know for a fact that Alaska has a healthy if small film industry. Wonder what kind of travel premium was paid to bring up folks to Alaska.
